Yes. I could be wrong, but distilling away all the BS and it only makes sense to me that this is coming from Trump allies. There is just no way, imo, that the left brought this case back from the dead to smear Trump via Acosta - the implications and blow back is just too wide and unpredictable. The Dems would be much better off leaving this story in the graveyard.
So why was it revived? Who gains from this? If the pedophile were ‘protected’, if he were an ‘intel asset’ they would continue to protect him.
I can only conclude that Trump could afford to take the hits early knowing that ultimately his opponents would be struck down by the resuscitation of and evidence surrounding this case. Just look to Trump’s CPAC speech where he mentioned the pedophile in relation to Clinton (”nice guy but a lot of problems with pedo island”). There is no doubt he knows all the ins and outs of this case, and he knows all the ins and outs of the Russian Hoax conspiracy. There is no way, imo, he will let it slide. They have taken all of his achievements and reduced them to innuendo and slander and attributed them to others (Russia got him elected, his dad made him his fortune, he’s a rapist, he’s a racist, he’s Putin’s puppet (and much worse stuff) etc). He will get his revenge.
The current arrest of Epstein is because of investigation at the DOJ that has been going on since Sessions was AG. It’s crimes committed since the first arrest. Complicated investigations take some time. Thus the recent arrest.
